i on iJP ht â€"â€" By AUSTIN JELBERT Last night, Nov. 7, the second sesâ€" sion of the Timmins High and Vocatâ€" jonal School Parliament opened with all the pomp and ceremony of the ofâ€" ficial parliament at Ottawa. The busâ€" iness on hand was opened by a memâ€" ber of the House, compcsed of over 80 students. Rules of debating were read by the Speskar Rohbert Millette. The Hon. Prime Minister Douglas Delahunt opened the proceedings with the resolution that the flag drawn up by the Literary Society of T.H.V.S. should be adopted as the new Canâ€" adian flag. In his opening speech, the Prime Minister outlined meaning of each symbol on the flag; the culture of all the countries which helped in the building of Canada be represented on the flag. The Fleurâ€"deâ€"lys representâ€" ing France, the Stars and Stripes reâ€" presenting U. S. interests in Canada, the Union Jack standing for British interests in this country. The leader of the opposition, Mable Reade, then developed arguments against the use of such symbols as the Union Jack in the composition of the flag. The composition of the flag should be mainly a Maple Leaf, the oppoduon asserted, because Canada has its own government and its flag should show no ties between the other New Flag Proposals Voted Down, 22â€"18, By H. S. Government The meeting was a long one, and while it chiefly concerned the Comâ€" mission and the land owners, a numâ€" ber of council stayed to see the meetâ€" ing through its initial stages. Many problems were clarified and the real estate men present expressed themâ€" selves as pleased with the coâ€"operaâ€" tion shown, Timmins High Voc ‘bours. In opposition, members of the S dtlonal house stated that a simple symbol of School Harliament OpPENS Ganaga‘s position in the world was Sessmn neéded instead of the suggested flag which seemed more like a collector‘s By AUSTIN JELBERT item than a flag.

The busâ€" |gressive nation. | The net result, it was hoped, would be speedier action in solving the proâ€" blems of prospective houseâ€"holders. _ Mayor J. Emile Brunette, helped clear away the confusion which Mr. Drew stated he laboured under in reâ€" gard to .the matter of getting. apâ€" proval for plans of new subdivisions. It was impossible to do much wiitn lots situated on land already subâ€" divided, Mr. Drew declared, becauss there would be only four or five such lots on a street, and they counld not affect existing properties. "It is not possible to make a "Snob Hill" or Forest Hill Village cut of every piece of land available for subâ€" division," Mr. Drew claimed. "Some people have jumped to the conclusion that real estate agents have taken adâ€" vantage of the â€" sxtuation to boost prices." This suggestion appeared to pain Mr. Drew. He went on to state that dividing land into larger lots simply meant that larger prices had to b:s charged, and that many people desitâ€" ing to build were unwilling or unable to pay such pricts. Prices for lots were much as they were before the war, Mr. Drew believed. political publicity, I am only concerned with the public welfare," George 8. Drew professed when spearâ€"heading the onslaught of Timmins real estate men on the Town Planning Commisâ€" sion on Monday night.

The governâ€" [x;emwasdeteatedbyavoteorflto on a foundation made in former years and not on dreams for the future proâ€" gress, therefore she must have a flag representing her foundation and not her dreams. During the debate, the opposition brought up the point that if the major powers are to be represented on the flag, why the North American Indians, the first man in Canada, should not be represented with a symbol on the flag. A member of the government, John Angus, cleared this point by saying that the symbol for the Indian Tribes was a swastika and that the reason for its omission was obvious. In the latter part of the discussion, the government said Canada was built "That organization did good work in both the Victory Loan and ‘clothing drive," Councillor M. Karol comâ€" mented. "I would like council ‘to thank* them for=‘the> wonderful ~work: they have done."
